Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'mSealed in tight, bizarre but right at homeClaustrophobic, closing in and I'mCatastrophic, not againI'm smeared across the page, and doused in gasolineI wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obsceneCatch me up on all your sordid little insurrections,I've got no time to lose, and I'm just caught up in all the cattlePatheticUnderstand it

Now this is the story all about howMy life got twisted, upside downAnd I'd like to take a minute just sit right thereI'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raisedOn the playground where I spent most of my daysChilling out, maxing, relaxing all coolAnd all shooting some b-ball outside of the schoolWhen a couple of guys who were up to no goodStarted making trouble in my neighborhoodI got in one little fight and my mom got scaredAnd said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air

I whistled for a cab and when it came near theLicense plate said 'Fresh' and had dice in the mirrorIf anything I could say that this cab was rareBut I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eightAnd I yelled to the cabbie, yo Holmes smell ya laterLooked at my kingdom I was finally thereTo sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air

Ok I don't know how we got hereOk I don't know this place were atOk I don't know these people around meOk I don't know how to deal with thatAs I wealth rough the path of destructionThis path of painThis path of sorrowI see my face from yesterdayI see it from todayI see it from tomorrowWho was IWho am IWho is this person I'm gonna beNow they're laughing at meI wanna changeI wanna really changeI wanna rearrangeI wanna stop my addictionsI wanna evolveDon't want to dissolveI wanna end my afflictionHi my name is Babby Joel and forgive me for I have sinned
